... H-bond formation. Water can serve as both an H donor and an H acceptor in H-bond formation. The potential to form four H bonds per water molecule is the source of the strong intermolecular at- tractions ... such structures are the processes of life. Properties of biomolecules that endow them with the potential for creating the living state include the following: Biological macromolecules and...

... the reactions necessary to keep cells and organisms alive must run against their thermodynamic potential, that is, in the direction of positive ⌬G. Among these are the synthesis of adenosine ... All naturally occurring processes proceed toward equilib- rium, that is, to a state of minimum potential energy. The third law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of any crystalline, perfectly o...
